4 door - easy access to baby seat
fun to drive
at least as fast as our current cars
AWD
Manual (insisted by my wife actually, that's what I get for teaching her)
- I think she could be convinced by a decent paddle shifter
Decent warranty

The only cars I know that check all the boxes:
Golf R - not wild about hatchbacks or VW for that matter
Wrx/STI - warranty kinda sux, not wild about subarus either (especially outside of their warranty)

Cars with compromises:
Kia Stinger - Great Warranty, auto only, kinda big
Genesis G70 - Great warranty, Basically the same as our current genesis (good thing), auto (unless 2.0t RWD), pushes the price limit
Maybe an audi
Maybe a Bimmer

What an I missing... new car choices leave me wanting for more.

Focus RS
